- fuse for Debian
- ---------------
-
- Please note that to be able to mount any filesystems based on FUSE, you
- have to load fuse module first. If you're using 2.6.14 or newer kernels,
- fuse should be already included and you don't need to build it yourself.
-
- Simply try `modprobe fuse`.
-
- To use fusermount, you must be able to execute this command as a root,
- so you have to be a member of the group which has proper permissions.
- fusermount binary comes with 4750 permission and root:fuse owners, so
- to able to use fusermount, you should give access to user fenio like so:
-
- adduser fenio fuse
-
- Now fenio would need to log off and on again for the group membership to come
- into effect. Then, he can use the fusermount as expected.
-
- Please avoid working as root just to be able to use fusermount. The above
- procedure is not complicated and Just Works (tm), and it's a lot safer!
-
- If you still want to use it as a root you can remove suid bit from
- /usr/bin/fusermount binary. Use dpkg-statoverride for that. Otherwise your
- changes will be overwritten every time during upgrade of fuse-utils.
